Washington, Jan. 29.—Foreign affairs and finance occupied the attention of the senate yesterday. Mr. Thurston of Nebraska vigorously upheld a strong application of the Monroe doctrine, and was at times warmly applauded for the patriotic ring of his sentiments. Senator Turpie of Indiana touched on the Turkish atrocities in a brie# but very energetic speech, in which he declared that the resolution just passed by congress should be followed by a blow, a shot, which should crash through the sultan's seraglio, sweeping back Mo-1

The ship is resting easily, and Captain Merritt of the wrecking company still says she is in no present danger. The sand has backed npagainst the port side of the ship, as she has formed a big breakwater, and it will probably be necessary to drag her a

Chicago, Jan. 29.—The Western Passenger association yesterday decided to not comply with the request of tho G. A. R. for a 110-day limit on tickets to the encampment at St. Paul. The Great Western rood was willing to make a 20day limit, but it was voted down. The meeting yesterday had positive assurances from the joint traffic association that if the encampment was held in their territory no better rates would lie made than have already been made by the western lines. A similar request of the Knights of Pythias, who hold their meeting in Minneapolis, was also re-
fused.

James R. Henry, Indianapolis, treasurer. The contest for chairmanship inis been very warmly contested by Mr. Gowdy and Mr. Nebeker, and not until Messrs.

In the conference it is said that McCullough proved to be Gowdy’s stanchest supporter, while Wood and Lamb were willing to vote for Nebeker if they could get the necessary third man. Kereheval held the key to the situation, and he decided to support the Rush county man. He said he had come to

It acquits the Armenians of the charge brought against them of burning their own property to incite an

The Benedict picked up one boat containing 25 men, including some who are believed to be the steamer's subordinate officers. The Leundbr V. Beebe was seen to rescue one boat crew, and the Alicia B.

A 8-masted schooner picked up two Ismt loads, which is supposed to account for 60 or more. The rescued do not agree on the number carried by the steamer. Tiie Beebe, with a fair wind, should reach Boston tonight, unless she has put hack to the Delaware breakwater, which some of the rescued think is prob-
able.
The steamer J. W. Hawkins sailed for Cuba, and among her cargo were cannon, arms and a lergc supply of ammunition.
